So I played PAPER MARIO: THOUSAND YEAR DOOR for the First Time...

We've sat on this one for a long time, but it's FINALLY time. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is regarded as not only the best Mario RPG, but also possibly the best Mario game ever. It's one I missed as a kid and with the remake coming out, I wanted to finally dip my toe in the pool. It's safe to say I will be there day one for this remake!

To be fair, I also missed this game and getting it now for the switch. When you owned a ps2, xbox and gamecube AND a gaming pc AND it was the year 2004 the best year in gaming- like, come on guys! World of warcraft, halo 2, half life 2, doom 3, far cry, metal gear solid 3, gta san andreas, rome total war etc - the year was stacked.

I bought this game when it released and can confirm my copy is one without the "best seller" circle on the cover.

Ttyd is absolutely my favorite game of all time. I remember always replaying it up to chapter 4 as a kid because I would get stuck on figuring out the bosses name (iykyk). Eventually when I came back a little bit older I figured it out and got to experience the rest of the game. I adored every moment of this game and am so excited for the remake!!!

Glad they said it was an RPG in the commercial. I never would have guessed otherwise 😊

You sir, are SOOOO fucking lucky. This is the first video game I ever played, and it’s remained in my top 5 for 20 years. I wish I could play it for the first time again

One of my favorite games growing up 🙌🏻

I was watching the Superstar Saga footage and noticed you missed like every timing based dodge or attack, so when you mentioned the timing in TTYD, I can definitely confirm it's a you problem. Big skill issue haha.

Timed attacks are literally the best part !

My grandma got me a GameCube when I was 5 and it came bundled with this game, it still is one of my favorite games of all time

Matty, awesome video. Lock, amazing edits.

Paper Mario TTYD is retro. Damn, I’m old.

For anyone who hasn’t played Paper Mario TTYD, welcome to 2004!

To answer the question at 11:30, There were 3 prints of the game. The first one, the best seller version, and then one with the players choice banner. Best seller was a 2nd print.

Super excited to go through this fun game again with my son.

One of the things I like about TTYD especially is that it has a lot of ways to do self-imposed challenge runs to mix things up and make the game harder. For example a popular one is to only ever upgrade BP and thus heavily limit your HP and FP for the whole game, requiring tighter guarding and more item use. And while you get to equip loads of badges, having only a handful of FP really limits how much you can use them. There's also the Hammerman and Jumpman badges which disable jumping or hammering respectively to heavily limit your moveset and make you rely on certain badges and partners a lot more.

So even tho I played this game a ton as a kid, I'm still having loads of fun playing with some of these challenges as an adult

You gotta play the original Paper Mario too. That was the OG. Sadly it often gets snubbed because of TTYD's popularity

Th CiB copy’s of Thousand Year Door for GameCube became much cheaper after the switch HD remaster was announced. It used to be more expensive because the GC version was the only way to play the game (legitimately).

What I love about the original game's box and booklet is that it only shows Chapter 1and a tiny bit of Chapter 2's character. It doesn't spoil anything beyond that.

I just wanted to say I enjoyed the vid and all the SpongeBob meme edits 😂

I’m calling out of work to play the remake Thursday lol
